Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Seawaters]

My husband and I had a good time with his mom in Chico. Her birthday is tomorrow, so we celebrated with a "tea" that ended up, HEAR THIS, really a "coffee." We arrived home just before the fog set in.

Right now I am listening to Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" while wearing my Christmas pajamas from last year and drinking a glass of Chardonnay from my Christmas wine glass!!

Plus, I am wearing my RED reading glasses!!! Does that count as something Christmassy???

Being on the West Coast, I wish a great beginning to your day and an ending in the West.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've just been super busy. I hope you all are well. I am so excited about Christmas. I can't believe it is so close. This is the best time of the year!!

Oh, BTW, we have snow in Alabama today!! It's not sticking here, but it is so pretty falling.

I am all excited as well! Don't regret being so super busy, enjoy it

this shot I took around 7pm while walking home

Beautiful! Did you yet finish your gingerbread house? Do you have a picture? Are you yet busy baking as well?? I have all my toppers finished I guess... But maybe want to make more Christmas-cakes are my favorite

It really is a dichotomy--we want things to slow down, but at the same time, we want Christmas!!

You are so right I want to enjoy this time, but also I want it to be over and Christmas to be here hahaha

Good afternoon,

LC is making the terrible 2's live up to their name today. It has been an ugly cold rainy day, and it is supposed to be again tomorrow, where's my snow?
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.

hope you get snow soon! laying:

Good afternoon everyone! I stayed home with the stomach flu on Friday but now I'm feeling a lot better! I have a lot of studying to do for the next few days.. finals are coming up Then it's Christmas break! I still have to finish doing my shopping too.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!

Good to hear you feel better! Ugh I know what you mean, I have been studying for ages And I also have to finish my shopping, don't have a clue when I'll have the time (and don't really know what to get my boyfriend ) Good luck!

The only thing that hampers the Christmassy feeling is that I fell this morning and landed smack full force on my coccyx (tailbone). I am so sore and in a great deal of pain if I try to move.....But it should be okay soon I hope.

Awwwh hope you feel beeter soon! I know it can hurt a lot! Try and stay still as much as you can!!

An other boring day of studying - studying - studying

I also need to get more gifts for my boyfriend one time soon now! Don't know when I'll be able to do that I need to seriously keep myself calm.. Any one has got tips? I am a really panicking/stressy person whenever I face exams this important, I usually get myself really ill and this isn't beneficial for my exams at all... So if any one has got tips on how to calm oneself down.. I'd be really really pleased!

Thanks!
The gingerbread house I made only received honorable mention and you can see it in my pictures area with my cake pictures.
I am currently working on a cake for our family Christmas party on Saturday that will have poinsettias on it. I have not done as many cakes this year as I would normally do because of school taking up most of my time.
Next year!
:merry:

Good morning, Christmas friends. Just one more week before school is out for Christmas vacation! We have a teachers' meeting after school which will NOT be a fun thing. The principal is instituting major changes that I do not agree with and with the input of only four or five teachers. She swore them to secrecy, but you know how that goes a lot of the time. Plus, she has told them that the changes are mandated by the state. I hate it when someone lies so blatantly. Oh, well. Since I know she lies, at least I know to expect anything!!! Have a great day, everyone!

First of all, make out a plan! I know this may sound silly, but singing helps too, even if you're not a good singer! And one final suggestion--if you know someone who teaches or practices Lamaze, get them to show you some of the breathing techniques.

Schools here in my county are going until Friday but that is a half day. What is really sad is Wake County is going until the 22 and that is a full day. I feel for those kids up there, I really do.
I am working today and tomorrow dunno about the rest of the week, well Friday I am not- it is just Wednesday and THursday that I dunno about.
This past weekend was totally WRONG on so many levels. WHy do some family members want to nitpick at EVERYTHING this time of year. SO I had to write another of my brothers off, hated to do it but it had to be done. On another note though. THe news story I posted here last week got a slight retraction, I don't think Mr. Pitts was expecting the backlash he got.:thumbsup:

I cannot remember how to sign up for forum updates, and I inadvertently clicked on the unsubscribe link!! I have tried looking on all the forum pages, but I must be looking for the wrong thing or in the wrong place--duh!!

I know what you are saying, HollyJells - my nieces are part of the Wake County school system!

******* CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY #31 *******

Good Morning, next-to-the-last-week-before-Christmas Friends!

Days to Christmas Day: 12 (Just look how close we are to single digits Folks!)

Wow! We we had the coldest first third of December on record for the Raleigh area and now the weather service says this week will be even colder, with lows in the teens the next couple of nights and the highs some days not above the freezing mark. That's more like January weather around here.
(Hey! This is North Carolina, not Minnesota!)

You have a Marvelous next-to-the-last Monday before Christmas, Guys!
